Hello everyone!
Spain was one of my favorite trips that i have ever went on.
Why you ask?
Because... 1: Spain(andalusia-a region in the south) is very very beautiful-the paysage itself is breathtaking- i couldnt stop looking at it! Also the towns are beautiful too-all white like the houses in greece. There are tons of flowers in the villages too as well as orange trees all along the roads. The smell is intoxicating. The ocean was beautiful too-the water was still cold though :p
2: It was a trip with the grad class so it was a lot of fun spending time with eachother all together. The ambiance was really good and i ended staying up late every single night-didnt sleep a whole lot-but it was worth it!
3: The trip didnt miss any of its history-i learned alot about the period when the Muslums conquered spain-didnt even know about it before. We saw really old mosks and castels from that time-with gardins that were the prettest ive ever seen.

So yeah... All this sums up to a really great week-it went by too quickly!
I really got to know better lots of students from my class and it was a really good bonding experience for all. Its too bad that in Canada they dont do trips like this instead of having a stupid grad dance in my opinion-spending money on a trip is way better than a dress i think

Other things we did on the trip include
:Watching flaminko dancers
:Hike into the mountains-my favorite activty
:visiting a farm for bulls-they do that whole fighting with bulls thing there-you know with the guy with the red flag and the bull that charges him? apparently its one or the other who dies-aparently they eat the meat of the bull so i dont think its somthing really bad
:visit of a ham factory and an olive oil factory-BORING but the biggest amount of dead meat ive seen in my life

Probably some others but i dont really remember right now-plus sometimes the visits were really early in the morning and everyone was to tired to pay mutch attentione anyways lol

Anyways really great trip. I suggest to everyone to go to andalusia one day. It was a trip that i will never forget!

Love you all!
-becca
